What to Expect in Alcohol Rehab

By | alcohol | No Comments

Alcohol rehab is the best way for an alcoholic to get sober. During this treatment both their psychological and physical addiction is addressed. This can take place in one of two settings. The first is residential treatment in which you live at the treatment center. Addicts benefit by receiving continual care. The second is out-patient treatment. Here you receive help while living at home. In either case, you’ll want to know what to expect throughout your treatment.

What Alcohol Abuse Treatment Is

By | alcohol | No Comments

Simply defined, alcohol abuse is the habitual misuse of alcohol. This substance affects people in different ways. While some can enjoy a glass of wine in a social setting without any problems, others can’t.

When you drink alcohol too much or too often you may have a problem. According to the “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020” set out by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Agriculture this begins with more than one drink for women or two drinks for men. If you find yourself in this “category,” you may suffer from alcohol abuse or alcoholism, also known as alcohol dependency – medical professionals use two terms interchangeably but these have marked differences.

People who abuse alcohol occasionally drink too much. This results in poor judgment and risky behavior. However, you’re not dependent on alcohol. On the other hand, if you’re an alcoholic these things become a daily reality because you can’t get through a day without drinking.

Stress Caused Me to Drink and I Regret That

By | alcohol | No Comments

I can honestly say that stress caused me to drink. My life was always chaotic, and that mounting stress led me to want to escape everything. The drinking helped at first, or so I thought. What I didn’t see was the stress that the drinking was actually adding to my life. Looking back, I can clearly see how the stress compounded itself exponentially. At the time, it just seemed like each night I got the opportunity to escape my misery.

My Grandmother Had a Stroke and That Led Me to Luxury Rehab

By | alcohol | No Comments

I never would have guessed that a loved one getting sick would have led me to luxury rehab. However, that’s just what happened. My grandmother raised me. She was my world, when my world fell apart. When I was 8 year old, my parents split up, and I was forced to live with my mother. I’ll say, her and I never got along, so I stayed with my grandmother other than when I could see my dad. When she had a stroke, my addiction came to the forefront. She needed a caregiver, and I was in no position to be there for her.

I Spent Too Much Money on Alcohol

By | alcohol | No Comments

It took me four years to realize that I was spending too much money on alcohol. I was a small business owner, but made more than I had ever expected when I opened. This meant I found myself “treating myself” far more often than I should have. First, it was trying out expensive wines. Then top brand brandy, rum, and whiskey. What can I say? I considered myself a connoisseur. It was a major mistake.  By the time I was 36, I was a highly functioning alcoholic, and my daughter was a year away from college. My husband and I had gotten a divorce when I was 30, and I never remarried. Her college was almost entirely up to me, and I realized that I was going to cut back on what I was spending to even help her through her first year.

From Functional Alcoholic to Devoted Parent

By | alcohol | No Comments

I was a functional alcoholic for most of my adult life, aside from the half of my pregnancy that I knew about. I would drink when I got home from work to unwind and get ready to sleep, and it wasn’t just like a beer or two. I’d stop at the liquor store 5 or 6 days each week, and that was totally alright by me. When I lost my husband and daughter because of my drinking, I was even alright with that. I never realized what I was missing.
